Grimoire (3)

However, a grimoire was different. A magic chanter who wrote a grimoire needed to engrave their strength and ethereal insights into the book—in the form of dividing and freezing their soul. As for people who read grimoires, if they had talent in this aspect, they could truly sense the author's insights, saving them from taking a lot of detours.

Grimoires were extremely precious on the continent. Undoubtedly, splitting one's soul and engraving it in a book would cause considerable damage to one's mental strength. Typically, only down-and-out mages who lacked money would do such a thing that wrecked their future. As for grimoires originating from the strong, they were usually forced to write them for various reasons. Some of them were even written before they died—these books weren't just mixed with the author's insights.
